Depends on what you mean by affecting performance. Any change in size will do that. It's all about making compromises between looks and the type of performance you're interested in. You need to be more specific about what your goals are (street only, drag race, road race, show).

Any wheel that is bigger in size and a tire that is bigger, will adversely affect performance, do to it simply being heavier and / or more rotational mass . . .

Heck different brand tires of the same size can hurt, due to different weights.

It's is just a matter of waht is acceptable . . . .
